Every fourth Monday of the Month, tune in to 88.5FM to go into detail on topics from The Community Foundation’s Boulder County TRENDS report. This past Monday, February 27th, TRENDS publisher and editor Morgan Rogers and TRENDS researcher Max Taffet discuss local access to early childhood education with Richard Garcia, Executive Director of the Colorado Statewide Parent Coalition, and Steve Callander, Executive Director of Boulder Day Nursery.
Topics discussed are:
- Why early childhood education matters and how the lack of it contributes to the achievement gap
- What it typically costs to send a child to full-day care in Boulder County
- A discussion about the kids who fall between the cracks not receiving pre-school education
- Descriptions of Richard and Steve’s organizations and how many kids they serve
- Information for listeners about how they can get involved in addressing this important community challenge
